Why is Israel and Hamas still fighting?

[smahala1991]

What beef do they have with each other?

The issue is that the Hamas and Israel argue about the area that is now known as Israel since that area has been a colony of the British until 1948. Then the British gave the area to the Jews and allowed them to build up their country of Israel without asking there living Arabs. The problem in short is that the Palestinians say Israel is an illegimitate state while Israel says the Hamas is a terrorist organisation and they negotiate with terrorists. The problem is that Israel won´t allow to split the country because they say the country has they have it now is given to them by God and it´s not theirs to be split so if they did they would disobey God. Palestines on the other hand are Muslims arguing that Israel stole the country and there hasn´t been a Jewish state over 2000 years.

I dont know I just post something in my country about it. someone claim claim that it is westerner. It is said it observes that is different meaning about the word I talk about. I think it seldom that western dare saying that in chinese worlds even I know they certainly steal to watch what we talk about.

But we dont know actually. We just think peace as possible as we can but as russia and ukraine. we really dont know the point beside the history we can describe but dont know the emotion.

and we really are busy about our life that made me keep peace policy as possible as we can. and bewteen Azerbaijan and Armenia.

just think about it when I am taking rest.

It's a really long story, but basically they're fighting because the Europeans gave the Israelis territory that the palestinians lived on. The Israelis say they should have the land because it was promised to them as a birthright. The Palestinians say that the Israelis shouldn't have the land because the Palestinians were the ones living there.

Why don't they just divide it up?

[ProbablyClueless]

Because neither group would be happy with that and both are filled with intensely tribal and religious people who think their side is righteous in the eyes of God.

Dunno, but it's fucking primitive. And will lead to the downfall of us all.

I mean, obviously, I can't give any kind of cogent political analysis. But the meat and bones of it, from an outside observer, is that each group believes in the righteousness and superiority of their religion/ethnicity etc. And is working to the advancement of it, ignoring the humanity of their well, apparently not 'brethren'.

Don't you just love the moral superiority of religious people...

[Starrrboy]

Because... Middle East lol.. It's like the back door of the planet where religious fanatics were born and still flourishing... today I saw a group of Palestinians stomping and chanting over a dead body like a bunch of chimps... but don't feel too bad for the jews.. they bomb civilians and kill children.. fuckin subhumans... I'd say nuke them all lol

[DryGermanGuy]

Because the more radical parts of Hamas think that Israel doesn’t even have the right to exist. Sort of like the „Drive them into the water“ stance from their brother in spirit, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

[Mansearching]

Religion. That's the problem.
